TEACHERS in Darlington are to be kitted out with laptop computers under a £200,000 scheme.
Each school in the area will receive at least one laptop, with the remaining funds being spent on schools with the most full-time teachers.
It is being funded by a two-year grant from the Standards Fund.
The scheme should enable teachers to carry out administrative work from home.
A Darlington Borough Council spokeswoman said: "It will assist teachers in preparing and planning lessons.
"They can use the laptops with projectors to give Powerpoint presentations in class."
